It wasn't the vmware driver I was looking at raising the issue on, it was the
virtualbox driver not supporting the preferred 4k resolution of the monitor.
Sorry, I misread your original post.
The VirtualBox tools supplied by Fedora are simply those from Oracle that have been
packaged and placed
in the repos.
That being said, I have no problems to erase virtualbox-guest-additions supplied by fedora
and then
run the installer from Oracle to install theirs. I actually find them to work better in
that screen resizing
works as I expect.
